I am in the process of mounting an Ameritron remote coax switch at the top
of my tower to select one of three antennas.  One of the pre-installations
options is to have unselected antenna outputs grounded.  As shipped, they
float.

Grounding seems like such a logical choice, I am surprised they are shipped
floating.  Am I missing something?  Is floating unselected antennas better
than grounding them?!

73, Dick
